Spotty week!!

Yes, we are seeing spots before our eyes over at Tando this week :-D  I have chosen to use a small ROUND FRAME for my piece and a Stampotique Mushroom stamp to go inside.

This little frame comes with its own stand but I have made it up to hang.  The base has been painted blue with a teensy dot stamping to finish.  The rim has been painted sand and some red has been stippled through the TANDO SEQUIN MASK.  The mushrooms have been stamped, coloured and cut out to go inside with some doodling and wording to finish off.

Thank you for looking today, many HUGS, Karen xxx

Square clipped frame.....

I'm able to show this now as a really dear friend of mine has received it so I don't need to keep it hush hush anymore.

I have used one of our Square Clipped Frames and also a couple of elements from our small Kitchen set.

I've used one of my fave techniques using texture paste and stamping, painting the frame with black acrylic and using some fabulous Viva Decor metallic silver paint.

The phrase has been manipulated in Word and printed onto some patterned paper.  I then added the chefs hat, covered in glossy accents and painted and used GA on the knife and fork.

Thanks for stopping by.

Mini Frames

First of all, well done Janice on winning the monthly competition. It would be lovely to see some more entries next month!

It's Kaz here this time and I've been playing with the smaller versions of the frame that Carol made the other day. These mini frames are so versatile and really dinky making them quick and fun to alter.


They come as separates to allow you to do what you want with them. I've painted this first one with acrylic paints then inked the edges and stamped paw prints before adding a photo. I finished off with some glossy accents and a few fimo bones.


I've made the second one into a little bit of artwork and made a mistake discovered a new technique in the process! For the base at the back, I stamped in Stazon onto some acrylic paint, but it was too fussy when combined with the front, so I used Stazon cleaner on it and, although it didn't remove all of the ink, it left just enough for it to work.

I've stuck patterened paper onto the frame and decorated it with a stamped image and some flowers, both die-cut and primas. Then I did a little light doodling.


I have plans for Christmas presents already with these frames.
